Open up your Mind Rockin' Minds to the Cold Hard Reality that is my Songs & Dreams.
When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I t...
When you find a song that you love, you just have to do it - why would I try to match it? When I wrote more of the songs in the '90s - 'Nick of Time' and other songs I was surprised I came up with - it was because nobody else was saying what I wanted...
When you love what you do, you just really fall in love with it. Sometimes you record a lot more songs than the album will even hold. You record like 300 songs and only 12 songs go on the album. It takes time. But if you love what you do, it works ou...
It's not a bad problem to have because a lot of classic acts are known for one or two songs and in their show they basically hold those songs off until the end and you sit through an hour or so of lesser known material but in our case most of the son...
'Are 'Friends' Electric?' was two songs: the verse part and the talking part. Two different songs I couldn't finish. One day I was playing the main verse part of 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and after a few minutes I got frustrated, as normal, then star...
I don't really premeditate what I write my songs about; you know, they just kind of happen, and I can't start writing songs to please a certain group of people or propagate a certain message all the time. That's just not how my songwriting works - it...
It's of course important to mention that when DJing, I'm building my own story through the music. I'm figuring out what song to play next, what song to play after that, and how the two will blend together. How the emotion is going to develop from one...
My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person.
Pop is in a shocking state at the moment.
Tomorrow always has the potential for sunshine.
The songs of our ancestors are also the songs of our children

If you hear a good song, it makes you hopeful like, 'That is out there.'
I think I drift toward sad love songs.
I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.
The song 'Laughing Down Crying' is not a typical Daryl song.
In life, if your song is wrong, find another song.
I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.
Maybe my songs are my partner. How 'bout that? Yeah, the biggest relationship I have is with my songs.
